In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe those who abandon their faith or turn away from their commitments.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, desertion was considered a serious offense, especially in military contexts. A deserter was seen as someone who betrayed their comrades and their cause. This cultural understanding of desertion as a grave moral failing informs the New Testament's use of the term to describe spiritual apostasy or abandonment of faith.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>probably of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Phygelus, one who deserted Paul<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Phygelus (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5436: Φύγελλος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Φύγελλος</span></span> and (<span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> (see <span class="manuref">WH</span>'s Appendix, p. 159)) <span class="greek2">Φύγελος</span>, <span class="greek2">Φυγελλου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, <span class="accented">Phygellus</span> (better <span class="accented">Phyg'-elus</span>), a Christian, who was with Paul at Rome and deserted him (see <span class="abbreviation">B.
